    Let's see how far you can get. I only made it to Question 2.

    #1. What do you put in a toaster?

    Answer is bread.

    If you said 'toast', just give up now and go do something else.
    And, try not to hurt yourself. If you said, bread, go to Question #2.

    # 2. Say 'silk' ten times. Now spell 'silk.' What do cows drink?

    Answer is water.

    If you said 'milk,' don't attempt the next question.
    Your brain is already over-stressed and may even overheat.
    Content yourself with reading more appropriate literature such as Women's Weekly or Auto World.
    However, if you did say 'water', proceed to Question# 3.

    # 3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is made from black bricks, what is a green house made from?

    Answer is glass

    If you said 'green bricks', why are you still reading this??? PLEASE, go lie down.
    But, if you said 'glass,' go on to Question #4.

    Please do not use a calculator for this for it would be cheating:
    #4. You are driving a bus from New York City to Philadelphia.

    In Staten Island, 17 people got on the bus.
    In New Brunswick, 6 people get off the bus and 9 people get on.
    In Windsor, 2 people get off and 4 get on.
    In Trenton, 11 people get off and 16 people get on.
    In Bristol, 3 people get off and 5 people get on.
    And, in Camden, 6 people get off and 3 get on.

    You then arrive at Philadelphia Station.
    With out going back to review, how old is the driver?

    Answer is...........Oh, for crying out loud!
    Don't you remember your own age?!?!
    It was YOU driving the bus!

    Thought these were good brain teasers.

    Answer is glass

    If you said 'green bricks', why are you still reading this??? PLEASE, go lie down.
    But, if you said 'glass,' go on to Question #4.

    I think "greenhouse" (as all one word) is the proper way to phrase the type of house made out of glass. As this has "green house" as two separate words, I think it would be reasonable to interpret this as simply a house that is green. But maybe that's too strict of an interpretation..


    Another one along these lines that I just remembered hearing a long time ago: What language to people speak in England? English.
    What language do people speak in Germany? German.
    What language do people speak in Spain? Spanish.
    What language do people speak in Brazil? If you answer "Brazilian", you're wrong, they speak Portuguese.

    A green house is made from green bricks, but a greenhouse is made from glass.

    I heard this same scenario but the question was "What is the name of the bus driver?"
